The Liverpool Way Podcast

Well, it was a win. Not pretty. Not convincing, but it's three points and the Reds are now up to fifth spot and level on points with fourth placed Chelsea after edging out a Spurs side who ended the game with nine men but still had the Champions hanging on grimly. TLW Editor Dave Usher and Julian Richards look back on this one and try to find some positive things to say after first getting all of the obvious negatives out of the way. Isak scored, so there is that. And Hugo continued his hot streak, so there's that too. And at least we're not Tottenham.

A clean sheet and a Hugo Ekitike double ensured the Reds picked up a much needed three points to extend the unbeaten run to five games and take Arne Slot's men into the top six for the first time in what feels like months. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown and John Gallagher to look back on a pretty eventful afternoon at Anfield in which Mo Salah got back onto the field, Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch excelled in the middle of the park and Hugo cemented his position as the main man up front. 

A late Dominik Szoboszlai penalty gave the Reds a much needed and well deserved win in the San Siro against Inter. Arne Slot has had a torrid week but he got exactly what he would have wanted from his players as they restricted Inter to virtually no chances while inflicting their first European home loss for three years. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a rare feel good win in what has otherwise mostly been a miserable few months. The lads also discuss the continuing Salah drama and whether it can be resolved.

Liverpool's miserable run continued with a 3-3 draw at Leeds on Saturday night. The Reds led 2-0 and 3-2 but, predictably, couldn't hold onto the chance to hop into the Champions League qualification spots. However, the bigger story came afterwards with Mo Salah's explosive and unprecedented post-match attack on the manager that throws his Anfield future into deep doubt. Dave Usher, Ian Brown and Chris Smith respond in real time as the news broke.

Another disappointment at Anfield as the Reds struggled to a draw against newly promoted Sunderland. The visitors were well worth a point and would have taken all three but for the irrepressible desire and commitment of Federico Chiesa who chased back to prevent a certain goal in stoppage time. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Paul Natton to reflect on yet another uninspiring performance and where we are headed next.
